Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
All teams that overachieved :ohhh:

When did elite teams stop using it?


Elite teams used the PnR a lot as well, Miami, OKC, Portland, Houston and SA all used it around the same amount of possessions.

I can see why the Mavs ran a lot of PnR since they have Calderon & Ellis, plus the big Germ. Kind of hard to see why the Raptors went to it so much considering they don't have a great faceup big like the rest of the teams do.

I swear I've seen fewer PnR's this post season than ever before.

BTW where do you get this info?

Any back story to it? Why this song? Not exactly a song that gets you pumped for a game.

not sure about the back story...they just incorporated the music into lineups and during games and it stuck....now whenever we go on a run the crowd starts chanting it...its dope

Spurs fans even mocked the heat with it during the finals



then they heard it during game 7 and cried

If anybody's getting gassed on this team it's Aldridge

:dwillhuh:

My mans, he the biggest reason why they got the best record in the league, he certified himself as the best 4 in the league and he in the conversation for the MVP.

He's having another Aldridge year but with worse shooting. Alot's changed about the Blazers over the last couple years, but it ain't Aldridge. He's still who he always was. A very good PF.

:dwillhuh:

Dude is having a career year.

He shooting 47% while taking 20.6 shots per game, which is absurd considering he isn't strictly a low-post player. Putting this in perspective with how many shots he took throughout the rest of his career is nothing short of amazing:

'07-08 = 15.3 attempts per game at 48%
'08-'09 = 15.3 attempts per game at 48%
'09-'10 = 15 attempts per game at 49%
'10-'11 = 17.5 attempts per game at 50%
'11-'12 = 17.1 attempts per game at 51%
'12-'13 = 17.8 attempts per game at 48%
'13-'14 = 20.6 attempts per game at 47%

He's taking three more attempts per game and sacrificing basically none of his efficiency. Show me any big man in the league that can increase their scoring load by THREE shots per game and still maintain their efficiency?

His midrange game (16ft-3pt) is better than ever:

'10-'11 = 4.5 attempts per game at 42%
'11-'12 = 5.4 attempts per game at 43%
'12-'13 = 6.8 attempts per game at 41%
'13-'14 = 8.5 attempts per game at 45%

:wow:

Averaging double digit rebounds for the first time and averaging the most assists in his career despite playing roughly the same minutes. It's still early in the season but he looking like the best PF in the league. If he's only very good than every other 4 in the league is average.
